Those who plan to go on self-driving travels may enjoy instant discounts or rebates when renting cars with UnionPay cards at Hertz and AVIS.
To date, UnionPay is accepted at over 23 million merchants and 1.64 million ATMs outside mainland China.

UnionPay services, including online and offline tuition payment, cash withdrawal, daily payment, travel payment and local card application, are available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and many other major destinations of international students.
In the United States, students can use UnionPay cards to pay tuition fees via the online platforms of Flywire and Western Union.
